have never found any aspect of aviation to be any thing but
synergistic with the rest. There is equal value in all of aviation and
we should stand together, united, against all threats



I suspect this could be a lie. Does anyone really think that kook was
up with Hawking in that 727? I read the story in the news, and saw no
one in the pictures with Hawking that looked like Cambell.

My feelings as well,I purposly looked for zoom and watched the segment several
times and I sure didn't see zoomy.I'm glad Hawking got to do it tho'.

Well he's back to looping and rolling but he left out the spin maybe he's
getting too old to spin? LOL!!

Some things never change and he's got a whole new crew of newbies to impress
working for him.

Just did a Goole search of "Hawking zero G" and read most of the articles and
looked at all the photos and guess what no zoom ...Even the group photo after
the flight had no zoom...Could it be that maybe zoom is being less then
truthfull?? Hmmmm.

What's really amazing is waun-abee hasn't posted here talking trash and

He must mean he was in the air at the same time and pushed the nose of
his plane over and felt zero G at the same time Hawking did. Right....

Did he ever get anyone to test fly his BD? Or did he just sell the

And being an incredibly modest person, he gave the photo credit to
somebody else.

I'm going to hate myself in the morning, but here goes...

Is it at all possible that Zoom is doing an EXTREMELY sloppy job of
presenting (himself in) an "everyman/every airman" persona?

It's a device you see in theatrical presentations, all the time - where the
narrator morphs into various characters along the way, to help the story
along.

Another example is this Rolling Stone's song:

[TSS7[_2_]]

For Zoomer to put such an incredible lie on his website makes me
realize he really must be psychotic, and loosing touch with reality.
What do that call that? Schizophrenic?

Don't know if he was on the flight with Hawking or not but there is a
photo of Jim with Hawking in the flight suit worn during the flight.
While there are not any photos I could locate showing Jim in a flight
suit for the trip or any showing him on board, I did find a group shot
showing everyone except Jim. Since all the photos were copyrighted by
ANN, it is possible he was the one taking the photos. This time, he
might actually have been telling the truth. Hell, even a stopped
clock is right twice a day.

Check out the 4/30/07 ANN News Update.

[red12049[_1_]]

Take another look at that pic.... I brought it into Photoshop. Looks like
the original pic was of Hawking mainly, and the gal and Jim were both added
later. In particular, check out the left side of Hawkings' head, where the
Zero G backdrop was added, and very poorly. The whole editing job smacks of
amateurism, and yes, I've worked with Photoshop quite a bit. Bring the pic
into any editing program and just enlarge it a bit, you'll see what I mean.
Maybe this should be reported to Hawkings' people?

I hate to be the one to bear the bad news regarding this issue. I
did see some news coverage of the Hawking flight and zzzoom was there.
The coverage was on the Keith Olberman Countdown twice during the
short video I got a glimpse of zzzoom. He was not wearing a flight
suit but the usual zzzoom photo vest. At the end of the film in a
group picture he was on the far left side.

My guess (if you have seen him lately) the reason for him not
wearing a flight suit is that they didn't have one in a size 48 extra
fat.

It's certainly possible. The question is, is it an appropriate writing style
for someone who claims to be an investigative reporter, writing in the same
venue that he publishes what he claims is hard news?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Glass

"..."Hack Heaven" depicted events that were almost cinematic in their vividness
and that were told from a first-person perspective implying Glass was there as
the action took place."

Stephen Glass' big mistake is that he didn't *own* the media outlet that
published his articles.

Zoom appears shortly after halfway through and again at the very end.
I didn't look at any of the other videos; one was enough.

I believe that Zoom has the same chance of racing a Rocket plane as
Stephen Hawking does.

You might be right that may be him or some other fat guy with grey hair and a

The show I that I saw was a MSNBC production and the time line seems
to jive with what John is describing. Now all the rest of his weeks
accomplishments are likely pure zzzoom BS.

I must not be getting the right pix. The one I'm seeing is a measly 400 pixels wide and chocked full of jpeg artifacts. Is there a higher rez image? From what I can tell of this small chunky image, the global illumination radiosity, err (sorry, my 15 yrs experience in 3D CGI rendering, lighting, and compositing blurted out), I mean lighting and shading, of all the subjects says it was taken in the same room at the same time with all subjects together. As for the backdrop... are you referring to the seam btwn the two panels?

That's the first photo credit I've seen but a photo credit none the less. So
unless Tim can prove something we don't know about I have to say zoom was there.

Still not a photo quality pic.

But I don't see anything but normal JPG compression noise.

Looks real enough for a low ews pic.

Amazing we now have confirmation that there is one truthful item on
zoom's resume. I'm sure he will beat that banner for years in an
attempt to add credence to the rest of his fantasy.

Yes, that's the one I am referring to as being too small with compression artifact galore to make an qualitative assessment of the claim it's a doctored image.

Strange, it could be that Tim is correct and Jim Campbell was not
himself on board the flight but could still have rights to the
photos. Even the wording of the credits on the posted NASA site is
not conclusive other that they obtained the photo from ANN. It is
entirely possible that someone else took the photos for ANN using
their equipment. Unless someone can come up with a list of those
onboard, I will remain a skeptic.

I have asked NASA for SOB on that flight. Their info sheet on Internet
says 15 or so days to answer a query via DC. Johnson don't have any
data here in Houston.

Anyone around Kenedy where Vomet Commet flies from that could get the
SOB on that flight from the source?

Wasn't the Hawking flight a private venture that does not involve the
Vomit Comet?

Yep. Private company, all the way.

They still call it a vomit comet, and that is where the confusion gets
involved.
